The Regret Minimization Engine

The framework Jeff Bezos used to leave Wall Street.

"I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, OK, now I'm looking back on my life. I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have."

— Jeff Bezos, explaining why he left a VP role to start Amazon

Most regrets are not things you did. They are things you did not do.

The Regret Minimization framework is simple: for any major decision, imagine yourself at 80. Will you regret not trying this? If yes — the answer is obvious.

This experiment scores 8 common life decisions against your 80-year-old self. At the end, you get a Decision Archetype: how you actually handle the gap between what you want and what you do.
